 About the Seminar :

English is taught as a compulsory subject right from Class V in our Secondary Level.
There is, however, a steady decline in the standard of English teaching and learning in
our schools and colleges. A glance of the result of any final examination is a proof of
this. Our experience as teachers of English are also disappointing to a great extent. The
organizers intend to provide a forum for interaction and exchange of views from the
participants and learned house with a view to drawing a few conclusions as remedial
measures with the help of the main theme or any of the sub-themes stated here.

Who can attend.

Teachers of English from schools, colleges, administrations, Govt. official, policy

makers and any one who finds ease and comfort in contributing to the main theme or
any of the sub-themes of the seminar.
